Look of the Day: Something Blue & Something Borrowed

I adore this dress so much that despite being a size too big on me I still bought it, but as a present for my mom. However I can’t help myself, and occasionally I steal it, ahem, borrow it from her for a bit. I conceal the size problem with a belt… and then think perhaps I should buy my mom an even better present just so that I can maybe keep this dress after all (I know, I’m terrible!). Anyway, I won’t be doing that (for now!), and this darling will be going back to its righteous owner in a couple of days.

Sorry to keep this post so short, but I gotta run my darlings… hope you have a fabulous day!

Hello darlings, how’s your Saturday going? Mine has been lovely so far, with the perfect combination of good food, good company, and some window jewelry shopping (didn’t make any decisions on some possible buys, at least not yet). Now I’m sitting in the movie theater waiting for Breaking Dawn Part 2 to begin, but since I didn’t get much of a chance to post this week, I figured I would leave you a little something. I’ll hopefully find some time this weekend to shoot some Looks of the Day, but in the meantime here’s a couple pictures with what I am actually wearing today. It’s a simple and comfortable outfit, but I feel quite stylish in it for some reason.
Hope you have a fabulous rest of your weekend!

Look of the Day: Cowboy-ish

So, when you think of a leather+denim combo, I’m sure John Wayne comes to mind, but you might be surprised to realize you can also achieve a more sophisticated look using that exact same combo. Here I present you my results experimenting with it, and I am really happy with how the whole outfit came out.

By the way, this leather skirt is one of the items I had been dying to show you (as I had previously mentioned on this post), and finally I get a chance to do it now that the weather is allowing. I had been dreaming about owning a leather skirt for years (literally!), but usually they come in the form of pencil skirts which are not really flattering on me. Then, last year I bought a faux leather version similar to this one at H&M, but after trying it a few times, decided to return it as it had some pleats that also weren’t very flattering on me. So I was beyond ecstatic to find this gem at bebe a couple of months ago. I am completely in love with it and already have a million outfits planned for it, I’ll probably live in it this winter.

What do you think about a leather+denim combo? Would you wear it? Are you planning to wear any leather items this season? Please share!

Wishing you a lovely weekend darlings :)
